Installing the Bio-Plex Data Pro Software

window and click the CD drive icon. Then double-click setup.exe to install the software.

between the installation types is that Custom allows you to specify where the software is

When the installation is completed, the Bio-Plex Data Pro icon appears on your desktop.

Customers using xPONENT software (all versions) to run their Luminex system must convert their files
